.... and of course a true American writer. A critic by the name of Alfred Kazin once said "that the greatest story London ever wrote was the one he lived." London had a hard life as a child and as a young man, in spite of this London grew to become one of Americas most popular and highly paid authors ever. He was not a baby boomer. This was not just an American thing, London was known around the world for his great adventure stories, that could be enjoyed by all ages. Londons life was diversified and so were his writings. Today, London is mostly known for his "dog stories", The Call of the Wild and White Fang. In addition to those great works London wrote many othe .....

.... died in 1950 from a neglected lung ailment he left his work and ideas to us and we grow trying to fulfill his demands.....failing.Introduction- When I first looked at this book I thought It would be a children's storybook. Then I noticed the thickness of the novel and opened it up. I read the introduction and found that the novel was based on a political matter, and I thought that the title was just a metaphor, and there were no "animals" in the story. As I read I discovered the whole thing was a metaphor. The five topics I'll be covering are: 1. plot structure 2. conflict 3. point of view 4. symbolism .....

.... In the novel, Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Salinger, love is used by a character, Holden Caulfield, who struggles desperately to find a certain somebody or anyone to allocate his love to, but realizes finally, that this love is not necessarily expressed through saving “ the children in the rye” from the time of trial, but actually caring for them and being their friends, during the time of trial. The quest of finding the true love of people is an ongoing dilemma in the lives of many people all throughout the world. The constant need for love is overwhelming, and the tragedy of this great world is the fact that some people do not find the proper love that .....

.... work The Great Gastby, which shows the ignorance of the rich, the adulterous morality of people, and the correct way to pursue happiness. Today’s society believes that money can buy happiness. Jordan, a character of The Great Gastby, explains this theme when she says, “Gastby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay” (79). Gatsby Himself later states “She only married you because I was poor…It was a terrible mistake.” (131). These quotes explain Gastby’s belief, that if he becomes rich, he will be able to obtain love from Daisy. This is quite contrary to the ideas of Ben Franklin re .....

.... There was an inn in the trees at the Bains de l'Allaiz where the woodcutters stopped to drink, and we sat inside warmed by the stove and drank hot red wine with spices and lemon in it. They called it gluhwein and it was a good thing to warm you and to celebrate with. The inn was dark and smoky inside and afterward when you went out the cold air came sharply into your lungs and numbed the edge of your nose as you inhaled. The simplicity and the sensory richness flow directly from Hemingway's and his characters'--beliefs. The punchy, vivid language has the immediacy of a news bulletin: these are facts, Hemingway is telling us, and they can't be ignored. And just .....

.... story are alike but different. The setting in “The Bridges” is in Iowa, at a time 1965, the family involved lived on a farm in rural Iowa. In “The Storm” the setting was similar to “The Bridges” in one way, “The Storm’s” setting was also on a farm, but it was in rural Louisiana, and the time frame was different, “The Storm” was placed or around the early 1900’s. The novel, The Bridges of Madison County involved one family just as the “The Storm” had, but in “The Bridges” the married couple, Franchesca, and Richard Johnson had two children, Michael, and Carolyn. “The Storm” involved one married couple, Calixta and Bobinot, they to had children but only .....

.... treatment and spurning by Jason, where as Hedda has very different reasons. Hedda has not been scorned by any one person really, but she is stuck in a man’s world, as a woman, where she has absolutely no control, marking her desire to control the destiny of Eilert Lovborg. Medea is pushed by the force of fate, as if she has no control over her actions. She is a strong willed woman, doing what she must, coming out as the victor in the end. Hedda, however, comes out quite differently. Hedda’s fear of scandal really prevents her from having any strong hold on the situation that will turn out successfully. This is proven in the end when Hedda commits su .....

.... knew the truth. Objects were judged even though they had no relevance on what really happened. In "The Ministers Black Veil" no one knew why the minister wore the veil but everyone assumed it meant shame and that he had something to hide. I think that the minister thought that it was his mission to show how superficial the people were. The ministers own fiancee left him because no one knew anything about the veil he wore. Again in The Scarlet Letter, I can think of two more major examples where an object was used as a sign or omen. The first is of course the letter, it meant evil, shame, and sin to the townspeople. All it was, was a letter .....
